Intraoral Scanner

An intraoral scanner is a device that uses a small camera to record the teeth and gums and creates a precise 3D model directly in the mouth. At the Elite Dent dental practice in Banja Luka we take digital impressions with the 3Shape TRIOS 6 - one of the most advanced intraoral scanners in the world. Its hyperspectral technology captures white, fluorescent and near-infrared light at the same time, which delivers an extremely precise impression and helps detect caries early. Forget unpleasant impression materials, with us everything is digitalized.

A digital impression is more comfortable for the patient and more accurate for the work. There are fewer errors, fewer repetitions and prosthetic work is produced faster.

A classic dental impression is taken with impression material in a tray held in the mouth for several minutes. Many patients find this unpleasant and it triggers a gag reflex. The intraoral scanner completely eliminates this step.

The doctor passes a small camera over the teeth, and the software assembles a 3D model in real time. The whole procedure is short and completely painless. The model is immediately visible on the screen, so you can look at your own teeth and understand what will be done.

Advantages of a digital scan

• No impression materials - no more discomfort and gag reflex
• Instant preview - you immediately see a 3D model of your teeth on the screen
• Greater precision - prosthetic work fits perfectly
• Faster production - the laboratory receives digital data in a few clicks
• Easier communication - you can see and understand what will be done

We use the digital scan where precision determines the quality of the work. These are primarily zirconia crowns, Prettau work and implant solutions, where even the smallest error in the impression means the work does not fit properly.

A precise digital impression means fewer subsequent corrections and a shorter overall production time. The finished 3D model is sent digitally to the laboratory, without sending physical impressions, so every next step goes faster.
